Enhanced ebook (includes audio) On a cold winter night, a young girl dreams of visiting her faraway grandfather in Kunming, a magical place in China known as the eternal city of spring. As gusts of snow blow outside her window, the gentle sound of her mother plucking the pipa in the family room wraps around her like a warm blanket. The intricately illustrated story is followed by notes on the origin of the pipa and 2 stirring instrumental recordings: “Beautiful Mountain and Clear Water” and “Drunk by the Sounds of Nature”.
Beautifully recorded lullabies from around the world are sung in the language of origin along with an illustrated bedtime story--in English, Spanish, and French--about an imaginary journey to unknown lands. Performers Sylva Balassanian, Mary Fujiwara Burke, Juan Jose Carranza, Hart-Rouge, H'sao, Paul Kunigis, and Nathalie Picard share their culture in offering lovely, warm lead vocals and harmonies, supported by a highly skilled group of musicians playing more than 30 different instruments. The earth-toned, dreamlike illustrations reflect both the subject and country of origin of each song.
